Autom8 scheduled refresh

[anchavesb]

Hi,
Is there any good practice or advice..or what should be the proper procedure in order to make an scheduled "apply autom8 rules" to all the devices in a daily basis?

Thanks in advance,

Personally, I create a cronjob bash script that executes:

poller_reindex_hosts.php

followed by

poller_graphs_reapply_names.php

If autom8 is correctly installed, these should trigger any changes in the devices.

Tks for the answer Linegod....I read in the manual that no reindex should be called while the poller is running, how do you manage to disable de poller on the crontab and check is not running?

Tks in advance,

Andres

I have my poller.php in the same bash script. At the tail end it just does a date/time check, and then runs the cli scripts if required.

Or you could just do a check for the poller.php process, and execute if it not running, else sleep and check again.
